For most of you, Warren Buffett needs no introduction: his track record speaks for itself. What makes Buffett unique among the world\'s richest men is that he made his fortune not by innovating in the tech industry or by inheriting billions, but by making successful stock picks for over half a century.
Despite his immense fortune, Buffett retains the humbleness of his upbringing. Born right at the start of the Great Depression, Warren saw the great poverty of the 1930s firsthand. He was lucky enough to be born to a congressman, Howard Buffett, who could provide for his family despite the crisis. Nevertheless, Buffett learned to value money from an early age.
In school his love of math and thriftiness naturally led to entrepreneurial ambitions. He sold Coca Cola to his fellow students, bought and operated pinball machines and eventually bought an entire farm to rent out. After graduating university he went to work for his favorite teacher, Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing.

On Saturday 20th July 2013 I went over the Reading in Berkshire - Royal Berkshire for it is where the Windsor Family - Queen Elizabeth - live at Windsor Castle. I was amazed to find that Reading does not have a Tourist Information Office at all. I went around the town centre and was able to find my way down to the Thames River and along to its confluence with the Kennet River.
